The Hostler Model Railroad Club is proud to be part of a large and active community of model railroad clubs and organizations throughout the Intermountain West. Each group brings its own unique focus, layouts, and events that help promote the hobby of model railroading.
Whether you are looking for another club closer to home, interested in visiting additional layouts, or want to attend more train shows and railroad events, the organizations below represent some of the many groups working to keep the hobby growing.
We encourage visitors and members alike to explore these clubs, attend their events, and support their efforts to share the creativity, craftsmanship, and history of model railroading.
The Northern Utah Division is big on Fun, Friendship, and Modeling!! Our members model the entire spectrum of scale, gauge, era, and subject, and we are sure you will find a local model railroad club that will meet your needs. |
